{knowledge} New Beginnings

You know those times where you just take a step back and look at everything you have done in your life? Think about where you are now and where you thought you'd be? Think about the path you set out for yourself, did it go the way you planned or did you change routes midway though?

I can't believe that I am living in a new state, attending an amazing pharmacy school, and running towards my dreams. How did I get here so quickly? It feels like just yesterday I was in elementary school. Life goes so quickly, sometimes we need to learn to take a step back and reflect on how we got to where we are today. I am so proud of the things I have accomplished in 22 years. I could not have made it here without the support and love from my family and friends. And above all hard work.

Speaking of hard work - tomorrow starts my first week of pharmacy school at Wingate School of Pharmacy. I completed orientation week which was filled with tons of school information, helpful study tips, and future talks. It really sparked my interest in thinking about the kind of pharmacist I want to be. I am very excited to start on this new journey and can't wait to share it with you along the way.

Here are some photos of the white coat ceremony on Friday. I officially feel as if I am a doctoral candidate now and I can't wait to show off this snazzy white coat :)
